Writing an article on remodeling - send me your experiences!

I'm writing an article on remodeling kitchens and baths in an Eichler. I'm interested in collecting peoples' experiences on complete kitchen and bath remodels. Shoot me an email to remodel@georgester dot com with your experience:
What was the scope of the project? What are the highlights? How long did it take? What went better than expected? Worse than expected? What would you do differently? Who did you use? What did it cost?
